about how much of the sun's energy is absorbed by clouds

• about 3%

• about 70%

• about 30%

• about 51%

an invisible form of energy with wavelengths shorter than violet light; causes sunburn, skin cancer, and eye damage

• visible light

• infrared radiation

• ultraviolet radiation

• electromagnetic wave

about how much of the sun's total energy is reflected

• about 70%

• about 30%

• about 51%

• about 6%

how much energy comes into the Earth's climate system from the Sun, how much energy is lost to space, and accounting for the remainder on Earth and its atmosphere.

• electromagnetic radiation

• convection currents

• Earth's Energy Budget

• solar energy

Energy leaves the earth's surface through these 3 processes:

• Evaporation (25%)

  Convection (5%)

  Emission of thermal infrared energy-heat (17%)
